Assindo – [Android] AI Assistant to handle your phone calls

Hi HN, I created Assindo, an AI virtual assistant in MVP stage to automate phone calls for busy professionals and parents. Balancing work with personal responsibilities left me losing time to missed calls, hold times, and scheduling tasks. Hiring a human virtual assistant was costly, so I built Assindo to automate and manage these phone-based tasks, freeing up my focus while ensuring no important call or task slips through the cracks. ### How It Works - Outgoing Calls: Assindo can schedule appointments, handle customer service calls, and make reservations, navigating IVR menus and managing…

In plain words

Assindo is an AI assistant for Android that automates phone-based tasks for busy professionals and parents. It handles outgoing calls to schedule appointments, manage customer service inquiries, and make reservations while navigating automated menus. For incoming calls, it transcribes messages, summarizes information, and creates follow-up tasks to ensure no calls are missed. The tool aims to reduce time spent on hold and scheduling by automating these phone tasks, currently in MVP stage.

Hi HN, I created Assindo, an AI virtual assistant in MVP stage to automate phone calls for busy professionals and parents. Balancing work with personal responsibilities left me losing time to missed calls, hold times, and scheduling tasks. Hiring a human virtual assistant was costly, so I built Assindo to automate and manage these phone-based tasks, freeing up my focus while ensuring no important call or task slips through the cracks. ### How It Works - Outgoing Calls: Assindo can schedule appointments, handle customer service calls, and make reservations, navigating IVR menus and managing hold times. - Incoming Calls: It transcribes messages, summarizes key info, and sets up follow-up tasks – so no critical call is missed. ### Next Steps I applied to YC 2025 (fingers crossed!) and am looking for early adopters to try Assindo and share feedback, as well as suggestions on new features to improve the experience. ### What is new ? We have shared that we have launched a web version 2 weeks ago. Today, we are thrilled to share we have released the Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.asindo.beta.... Note: currently available only for the US and Canada. visit assindo.com for more info. Thanks, and I’d love any feedback! iOS will be released in few days, you can join the wait list: https://www.assindo.com/waitlist

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
